“Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.”

"Although the wind is very powerful and you can feel its presence,
in and of itself it cannot be seen.
You know it is there by its effect on others.
The great trees,
the grasses and waves on the sea bend with its force.
If you are aware of your surroundings,
you know it is there long before you feel it.
So it is with the ineffable."
